[andrew]

[Keegan]

squirl, thought you sad you were gonna upload it today? i am so eager to see it!

 

[flying squirl]

noplease we need this torso!

*sigh*

a few computer problems???

yea, you could say that. iol has decided to make our dial up connection annoying as hell by resetting the server every 30 seconds or so to try and make us get broad band BUT because i live in the bog hole of nowhere we cant get any, appart from true satilite which is about 2000 to set up.

well i just hope it will be up by monday

................

Take your time FS, I know the wait is worth it! ;-)

thanks. the finish you got on you helmit is goram amazing! its mirror. i hope your guna mold that puppy!

Chiiiiill, haha. It's not like one more day is going to effect the build of this torso much. When I get around to doing this build, I'm really going to give it the time it deserves and try and do it justice.

thank you! thank god most people have patience!!

Ditto what Doc said and Nicktendo

Just beat the computer with a hammer. No worries FS we'll be here ready and foaming at the mouth I'll have 2 awesome pieces to keep me busy for awhile

hahaha, thanky. *comes back to computer to see faces with foaming mouths filling the screen*.... ehh... i gota.... em... *RUNS!!!*

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Only kidding, good to know we've got a working torso coming along shortly - even if it means a smashed and mangled PC gets left by the wayside

yea, i came veeery close to getting a sledge hammer from the shed!! dont worry itll be up today.

when will i see great weapons such as the splaser, gravity hammer, missile pod, rocket launcher, and a good shotty???

when i get the files. unfortunatly i, and most other prople, only have a file with mc and a few varient armours. ide say by the time i finish the whole suit ill have found em.

squirl, thought you sad you were gonna upload it today? i am so eager to see it!

i dont respond well to unpolite pressure.

--------------------

ANYHU, i know youve all been waiting and i thank you for your patience, stuff came up yesterday involving a power cut(so i couldnt connect anyway), my sick dog and my ex.

but, on a happier (and less stressful) note im uploading it as soon as i finish this post. now, you should know that its not finished in the sence that its not unwrapped... at all!!! also i have no idea how the detail is gunna affect the stability of its shape, im lookin into jedi-fraz's suggestion to make it into pannels that we can stick onto a lower polly version so if this version doesnt work out theres a better version on the way.

sorry for the kinda givy-outy tone (at least i think it was) but im still a lil annoyed from my weekend.

right, ill update this, and the first post woth the torso in a sec.

any problems,

gimme a shout

FS

EDIT: WOOOH!!!! first post updated! torso is up!

heres a link to save you some time

 

[dannifood4less]

this is going to be a nightmare,,, but i will attempt to unfold t maybe tomorrow night and update you guys with a 2part pdo.... one being just the gutplate and the other being the rest of the chest armor.. .. wish me luck tomorrow i go to take my placement exam at the art institute!! after that i might have time to start on unfolding this awesome file!

yea tell me about it! i have the gut and the chest as seperate objects so you can hide them alternatly for ease of cutting. (im fairly sure you knew that alread but just incase). good uck with your exams!!!! hope you do great!!!!

EDIT: i just looked back over my eirlier post and they struck me as a bit rude and givy outy so i edited em a lil. anyhu, ive just come into possion of a bag of jewlers wax so im guna run with an idea someone else posted (i cant rember, sorry) about using wax to build it up. im guna sculpt a buck using just pep and wax n it should hopefuly make it alot easier to get a nice initial finish on it for moulding. basicly the lost wax method without melting the wax.

if anyone has done this or has suggestions please lemme know

flying_squirl you are an asset to this community, that has to be the Best Torso Model I have ever seen! Hats off to you! This deserves a Dancing Cat or two!

It's gonna be hell making it, but I'm determine to try .....as soon as i work out how to unfold this Pep properly......

 

[23Magnum]

FS, between you, Danni, and Robo, everyone is going to have one heck of a set of pep armor. Looking at the initial .pdo of your torso right now, and I have to say it's amazing.
I might have to get some pointers from you for my TimeShift model(when I start it) in 3DS. PM sent.

yea, isnt it kewl?!!! thanky. yup, no problem, ask away.

----------------

hmmm, right i guess i better start on the next pep part soon. looks like sholders are in the lead (leed?) but space diper is a close second. ill leave it open till tomorow n then ill start on the leader. looks like its guna be the sholders/upper arm.

if anyone absalootly and genuinly despratly needs a certin part first lemme know and ill take it into concideration.

EDIT: bdw, has anyone had trouble with the text in the 'cleavage' section of the chest? it was brought to my attention that the polys went a lil weird for some people n i just wanted to know if the problem was widespread. the text should read:

That was me! Yeah, Frost didn't like it too much because he thought I was stealing his idea for using hotglue instead of fiberglass... You could try to re-enforce the inside with some resin or maybe a single layer of glass. Let me know how it turns out!

Also, your torso is amazing. Can't wait to build!

 

[s meisters]

*cries* Thanks so F'n much for the torso.

[RossOtterProphet]

I know you're busy, and i'm not asking or complaining to rush or anything like that. my only question is, is there a low-poly test torso in the works?

the torso looks beautiful, by the way.

 

[Sinjinsmiley]

Model looks great although just from a quick peak I can see how devilishly tough the unwrapping is gonna be.

The separate panels sounds like a great idea so I'm definitely looking forward to that.

Oh and space diaper ftw

 

[Skullcandy Girl]

When you mean it's not unfolded, does that mean it's not layed out to be printed? Not whining at all, just askin' a question

And yes SPace Diaper FTW! *belches*

 

[Datahar]

Thank You!
I'm going to try the hot glue method, do a little, hot glue inside to hell, do a bit more.
Now I just need to familiarise myself with pepakura enough to unwrap it, I'm a UV artist so hard hard can it be

Yeah, when you pop it into PepDes it's only the 3d model. You have to hit the unfold button. Sounds simple, but unless you put some thought into it, PepDes tries to make it all into one piece. And I had to re-read the *belches* part, because I thought it the EL part was IT.

 

[crackhead09]

um scaling for torso?

great model btw the back is going to be tough

 

[bigdrock44]

awesome torso! looks great

 

[raven2751]

the torso looks great but i'm takin my time with the helmet and keep bunring my fingers with the hot glue gun

can't wait till what you'll do next, so all i can say is keep up the great work but take your time, theres no need to hurry
